Sexual Acupressure Points

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), There are sexual acupressure points for general sexual health and arousal, including the sacrum and the region between the navel and pubic bone. Practitioners employ precise acupoints to fix imbalances that may lead to sexual problems like low libido or erectile dysfunction. They accomplish this by boosting blood flow, harmonizing hormones, and lowering stress.

These principles are usually the same for both men and women, however the therapy is based on the person's unique condition.

I find that acupressure may aid when it comes to touching and sensation. Specific techniques and points can jump-start that safe and nurturing environment and, in turn, help maximize pleasure.

Breaking down the psychological barriers to awesome sex

The human body is a complicated system, particularly when it comes to sex and getting excited. There are more than 7 trillion nerves in our body, and each one has a job to do.

When we have sex, we frequently just pay attention to our partner's genitals. But there are numerous more pressure spots on the body that may make us feel even better.

With that information, we can figure out the ideal pressure locations to make a woman and man feel good. You may get your spouse more excited by using these sexual massage pressure points to make her feel good.

We transmit messages all throughout our bodies via touch and the pressure points. These signals may make us feel things, remember things, and even think things.

How Acupressure Supports Libido and Hormone Balance

Sexual reflexology uses acupressure points and the body's innate healing potential to stimulate a partner.

Applying hard pressure and massaging particular pressure points in a circular manner helps improve blood flow and produce endorphins, which make you feel good.  

You may have more orgasms and less tension and worry by stimulating the right pressure spots.

Knowing where each point is is the most important part of doing sexual reflexology correctly. You can simply stimulate the pressure spots once you know where they are, which will make your time with your spouse more enjoyable.

This post will show you how to utilize sexual reflexology to make foreplay and sex more enjoyable. Read on to find out how to apply this easy and efficient approach to make your sex life better.

What Is the Difference Between Sexual Reflexology and Erotic Massage?

The key distinction is that erotic massage employs touch and sensuous methods on erogenous zones to get people sexually aroused, whereas sexual reflexology uses particular pressure points on the hands, feet, ears, and other parts of the body to affect sexual function and enjoyment. Erotic massage is more direct and hands-on, and it focuses on the body's sexual and sensory responses as a whole. Sexual reflexology, on the other hand, is more like a therapeutic technique, like standard reflexology, but it is done to improve sexual health and enjoyment.

Sexual reflexology and erotic massage are similar in that their goals are to increase arousal and pleasure in partners, but they differ in the locations of the pressure and massage.

Sexual reflexology focuses on stimulating pressure points along the body's energy meridians to awaken the sexual organs and increase arousal. The goal is to stimulate different points across the entire body and not just the genitals.

Pressure Points for Exciting Arousal

The Sciatic Nerve: This area is located at the bottom of your butt muscle and runs all the way down your leg. When stimulating this point with a massage or even just light pressure, it can help stimulate arousal throughout your entire body. Try adding a bit of massage oil when working on this point and massage it in slow circles for an especially pleasing result!

The Instep Point: You can locate this spot by running your finger along the arch of your foot until you find a tiny indentation near your big toe. This spot may be quite sensitive so you might want to start off gently by using just one finger before gradually increasing the pressure as required. Applying light pressure here is said to bring out strong emotional responses, such as joy and bliss – perfect for exploring sensual meditation or Tantric massage techniques.

The Tip Toe Points: There are eight different erogenous zones located at each one of your toe tips, which means you have plenty of room for exploration! Use both hands together when moving from each zone in order to stimulate more sensation; make sure you don’t put too much pressure as this area tends to be quite sensitive too. From gentle kneading motions through to light tapping - experimenting with different motions will give you an idea what kind of pleasure it can bring!

The Heel Area: The heel area is known for its powerful energy centre, so if you’re looking for some extra excitement then look no further than here! Begin with gentle massages around this area before gradually increasing the pressure until it feels right; use thumb presses as required in order to achieve maximum stimulation. If done correctly then not only will this help increase endorphin release but also intensify any orgasmic experience!

Head Massage

Start with massaging the top of your head, where the Governor Vessel 20 (GV 20 or DU 20) pressure point is. Gently massage using a slow, circular motion and work your way down to the temples and ears.

The head is one of the most active and sensitive areas of your body. As our lives get busier, our brain often goes into overdrive and that's not helpful when you want to be intimate with your partner.

Massaging different parts of the head will help to relax your mind and body, allowing you to enjoy being present at the moment.

Ears

 Ears are very sensitive and an erogenous area that can lead to healthy blood flow and pleasure. The ear has many pressure points, including the earlobes, Daith, and Bosch pressure points.

 Pressure points on the ear are often used to relieve stress, anxiety, headaches, and muscle tension in the body. Gentle massaging of the ears will help relax and get your partner in the mood.

When massaging the right earlobe, it stimulates the pituitary gland and the left brain. Stimulating the pituitary gland will increase sex hormones and sexual drive in your partner.

 On the other side, massaging the left earlobe will stimulate the pineal gland and right brain. The pineal gland also helps influence sex gland functions. Stimulating the pineal gland will help increase melatonin levels, which will help prevent erectile dysfunction.
